Commander is a relative newcomer in terms of Magic the Gathering formats but it stands as one of the most popular! Commander is a highly social format that involves four players and a surprising amount of politics and negotiation! The great thing about commander is the table generally decides the level of competitiveness, from a super casual game to a really competitive one! If you're looking to get into Commander, you can start off with one of the awesome pre-constructed decks. All of these pre-cons have been selected for their beginner-friendly builds and level of fun!

Upgrades Unleashed Unleash the true potential of your creatures with auras, equipment and counters. Released with the latest expansion, this deck is super fun and offers a great way to experience a "Voltron" deck!

Spirit Squadron Fill the skies with a tireless cloud of vengeful Spirits. Released with Crimson Vow, this deck lets you flood your opponent with a ton of tokens!

Undead Unleashed Destroy your opponent with a unstoppable hoard of zombies! Containing a ton of resurrection nonsense, this is definitely a deck that is great for beginners and veterans alike!

Quantum Quandrix Strixhaven introduced 5 Commander Decks, each based on the five colleges! They are all a great entry point to Commander and each use two colours! The Quandrix pre-con utilises Blue and Green and is a begin-friendly deck that still packs a punch!

Sneak Attack Zendikar Rising introduced two epic decks with Sneak Attack and Land's Wrath. Sneak Attack was a tribal Rogue deck that focused on milling your opponents!.

Commander follows the regular magic rules with a few exceptions:

  • The game has four players, each trying to come out on top
  • Each of the players starts with 40 life instead of the regular 20
  • Each player has a special commander card and a deck containing exactly 99 cards

Each Commander Deck includes the following:

  • 1 Premium card
  • 99 Regular cards
  • 10 Double Sided Tokens
  • 1 information insert
  • 1 life tracker
